Lost a 10 foot custom 1120L Lami- and a 560 slammer. Lost Early Yesterday morning (Sunday the 7th) on the beach a stones throw from Dike Bridge. Mostly upset about the rod. If it turns up (or more likely washes up somewhere) and someone hears about it, please PM me and I will give the finder some choice plugs. Thanks. Rob

SKD- thanks for the advice. When the sun was up they had a Preserve ranger go up and down the beach trying to help out. I will contact the tackle shops. Its a long shot.

On what happened, lets just say it involved a black bomber, that had its front treble in the mouth of a bass and the back treble in my pinky. Unintended results follow.

Barbs on treble hooks are more harm than help to a plug fisherman. Hope you get your rod back.

Believe it or not most rods found are returned. I found a 10weight orvis flyrod with Tibor everglades fly reel and found its owner. I wish I would have read this yesterday, I was out there last night, I would have taken a look. If I hear of it I will give you a heads up.

Also, the above advice is good, contact the shops. Further contact Nelson Seigleman at the MVTIMES at nelson@mvtimes.com and he will put a mention in the paper in the gone fishing column for you.

IMO it is better then 50/50 that you get it back. There is always the chance that a dirt-bag walks off with it but most fisherman are decent guys when it comes to returning gear I found.
